TWO-SIDED REAR
SWING-DOORS fig. 74
Two-sided rear swing-doors are supplied
with a spring loaded system that stops
them during opening with an approx. an-
gle of 90 degrees.
fig. 74F0T0139m
This spring loaded system
has activation forces which
were designed for optimised comfort.
Accidental shocks or a strong wind-
blast may release the springs and let
the door sides close spontaneously.

CLOSING THE BONNET
Proceed as follows:
❒lift the hood with one hand and with the
other pull toward you the device A-fig.
92and then lower the lever B;
❒lower the hood to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine compart-
ment, then let it drop, ensuring, trying
to lift it, that it is fully closed, not just
hooked in safety position. In the latter
case do not press on the hood, lift it
again and repeat the operation.IMPORTANT A label with a description
of the above engine hood opening/clos-
ing operations is located under the engine
hood (see fig. 92a).
The bonnet must always be
perfectly closed during trav-
el for safety reasons. Make sure that
the bonnet is perfectly closed and
that the lock is engaged. If you dis-
cover that the bonnet is not perfect-
ly closed during travel, stop immedi-
ately and close the bonnet in the cor-
rect manner.

ABS SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with an ABS braking
system, which prevents the wheels from
locking when braking, makes the most of
road grip and gives the best control when
emergency braking under difficult road
conditions.
The system is completed by EBD (Elec-
tronic Braking Force Distribution), which
distributes the braking action between
front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To achieve maximum effi-
ciency of the braking system, a running-
in period of about 500 km is required.
During this time, avoid sudden, repeated
and prolonged braking.ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal accompa-
nied by noise: such an event indicates that
you need to adjust your speed to the type
of road on which you are travelling.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current
road conditions.
WARNING
When the ABS trips, it means
that you are approaching
the grip limit between tyres and road:
slow down to exploit all the available
grip.
WARNING
The ABS system exploits the
tyre-road grip at best, but it
cannot improve it. Therefore, you
should take great care when driving
on slippery surfaces without taking
unnecessary risks.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el (together with the dedicated message
on the display in some versions) (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
In the case, the braking system preserves
its efficiency, but cannot rely on the ex-
tra potentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system checked.EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>and xon the instru-
ment panel (together with the dedicated
message on the display in some versions)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.If warning light xonly lights
up on the instrument panel
(with a message on the display in
some versions), immediately stop the
vehicle and go to the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic flu-
id from the braking system jeopardis-
es the functionality of the braking sys-
tem, either of the conventional type
or with ABS.

FUEL TANK PLUG fig. 98
To refuel open the flap Aand unscrew the
plug B. The plug is provided with a loss
prevention device Cwhich secures it to
the flap, thus making it impossible to lose.
The plug Bis provided with a lock and key.
To access it open the flap A, turn the igni-
tion key anticlockwise and loosen the plug.
When refuelling, fasten the plug to the de-
vice inside the lid as shown in the figure.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where
provided).

Do not place free flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel
filler: this may pose a risk of
fire. Keep your face away
from the fuel filler to prevent breath-
ing in harmful vapours.
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER DPF
(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical filter integral with the exhaust system
that physically traps carbon particles pre-
sent in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate particulates almost
totally in compliance with current / future
law regulations. During normal use of the
vehicle, the engine control unit records a
set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then calcu-
late the amount of particles trapped by the
filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles. The
regeneration procedure is controlled au-
tomatically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the vehicle.
During the regeneration procedure, the
following situations may occur: limited in-
crease of idle speed, activation of electric
fan, limited increase of smoke, high tem-
peratures at the exhaust. These events
must not be considered as a malfunction-
ing: they do not impair vehicle behaviour
and the environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, refer to section
“Warning lights and messages”.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Wear the belt keeping the chest straight
and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue
A-fig. 1and insert it into the buckle B,
until the locking click is heard.
If the seat belt jams while it is removed,
let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.
Press button Cto release the belt. Ac-
company the belt while it is being
rewound to prevent twisting.The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.
fig. 1F0T0147m
Never press button C-fig. 1
when travelling.
WARNING
Remember that in the event
of a violent collision, rear
seat passengers that do not wear the
seat belt both pose a risk for their sa-
fety and represent a serious danger
for the front seat passengers.
WARNING
Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wea-
ring it, allowing freedom of movement.
The reel may block when the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly
normal. In addition, the reel mechanism
blocks the belt whenever it is pulled and
in the event of brisk braking, collisions and
on high speed bends.
